Chen Yi saw the shop owner's expression and felt that something was wrong.
Extreme sports in this world were much more backward than on Earth. Wingsuits might not even have appeared yet. Without equipment, it would be useless even if one had the skills. He could only choose paragliding.
With the mentality of a dead horse trying to make a living, he gestured and said,"It's something that you can wear on your body. Your legs and arms can be sewn and contracted freely. It's similar to the wings of a bat.”
The shop owner was stunned for a moment, and then he looked as if he had suddenly realized something."Are you talking about the Flying Squirrel outfit?”
Chen Yi's eyes lit up. The Earth Winged Suit seemed to have the name Flying Squirrel Suit before, but the name was not the main point. He nodded and said,"It should be. Do you have it here?"
The shop owner looked at Chen Yi suspiciously and walked into the shop to rummage through it. After a while, he found a box and opened it while saying,"This thing is quite unpopular. If you ask other places, they might not have it. If you came a month earlier, I probably wouldn't have it. "I was scammed by the sales promotion and only managed to get a small amount of stock. In the end, when I was recruiting, I realized that no one dared to come. After careful investigation, I found out that this thing can only be used at high altitudes. Although our mountain top is high, it's far from high enough.”
The box was opened, and the shop owner took one out for Chen Yi to see. Chen Yi opened it and his eyes lit up. That's right, this was indeed a Wingsuit. Judging from the quality, it was not bad.
It seemed that the development of wingsuit equipment in this world was not bad. There were probably many people who tried the thrill of flying in the high altitude, but no one had used it at low altitude.
It could be said that Chen Yi was extremely lucky to be able to find a Winged Suit here. He suspected that this was because the system had chosen the route. The system had said that it had collected and organized information, and then interfered with the program team's choice of route. It could even predict the landslide to a certain extent, so it was naturally not difficult to find a place with a Winged Suit.
"I'm 1.8 meters tall. Do you have my size?”Chen Yi asked.
"Yes, but you haven't told me why you want this thing. Although this thing was said to be the closest to pure flying equipment for humans, it could only glide down from high altitudes. It couldn't really fly like a flying squirrel. Don't be like me in the past. I heard that this thing was very cool, but I only knew a little about it. If I wanted to use it, I would die. The creator of this thing died while experimenting with this thing. If you were good at parachuting, you could play at high altitude, but you couldn't play on the mountain.”the shop owner said.
Obviously, the shop owner took out the equipment to show that he had it. He had the mentality that someone would ask about something that could not be sold. However, it was a different matter if he really gave it to Chen Yi. After all, this thing was not a joke. If he did not explain the danger clearly, he would have to take responsibility if someone died.
Chen Yi hesitated for half a second and decided not to tell him the truth. If he told him that he would be wearing the Winged Suit and jumping off the cliff, it would really scare him to death. He probably did not dare to give it to him.
Flying with a wingsuit was also divided into high altitude and low altitude. The danger of flying at high altitude was not high, just like skydiving. In the middle, you had a lot of time to do whatever you wanted, as long as you successfully opened the parachute.
Low-altitude jumping was even more dangerous than low-altitude parachuting. Someone once calculated that as of 2012, there were less than 600 people in the world who dared to attempt this risky action. It was widely regarded as the craziest extreme sport in the world, and could be called the limit of extreme sports.
However, its charm still attracted countless people. Even those who didn't dare to play with it were still fascinated. Chen Yi liked a lot of extreme sports, but if one were to ask him which one he liked the most, he would subconsciously think of flying in a wingsuit because this sport was too cool. Humans all had dreams of flying, but Chen Yi also had dreams of flying. Although airplanes, parachutes, paragliders, and so on could also be considered flying, they were still different from real flying. Winged flight was infinitely close to pure flying, and humans could achieve the most perfect flying dream.
However, in his previous life, Chen Yi did not play Wingsuit Flight many times. It was not that he did not want to play, but he did not have enough money. To play Wingsuit Flight, not only did one need to be brave, but they also needed to burn money. Because first, you had to practice skydiving. 200 times was the foundation of wingsuit flight. Every skydiving required the participation of helicopters and other basic equipment. A single skydiving required at least tens of thousands of yuan of capital investment, and 200 times was three to five million yuan.
The other training fees and the coaches 'fees were not small either. Other than that, a flight suit, a professional helmet, a parachute, and so on were another huge investment.
In short, it was burning money. In his previous life, Chen Yi had just completed the basics of parachuting and had only entered the initial stage of wingsuit flight. He had not had the time to try more.
Now that God had given him another chance, there was no reason for him not to try.
Chen Yi said,"I'm going to use a paraglider, but I want an extra layer of protection. I want a set of wingsuit and a parachute. Didn't you say that all the equipment in the shop can be used? Isn't that against the rules?"”
"This is not against the rules. It's good that you know that the Flying Squirrel Suit can't fly directly. Although it doesn't have any guarantee, I'll give you one if you want it.”The shop owner said. Since he couldn't sell it anyway, he might as well let him try it on. Perhaps it could be used for publicity and someone would buy it to fly high in the sky.
The shop owner found a suitable set for Chen Yi. Chen Yi upgraded the Wingsuit Flight from Level 1(Novice) to Level 2(Master) while carefully checking the Wingsuit, helmet, and parachute.
The wingsuit was made of a stamped inflatable air bag made of a very tough and strong tensile material. Large pieces of sturdy, freely contractible wings similar to bat wings were sewn between the legs, arms, and torso of the flight sportswear. After the challenger soared into the air, they could spread their wings by spreading their hands and feet. When air entered the fin-shaped air sacs, they would inflate the clothes into wings, thereby generating buoyancy. This way, he could fly in the air and control the height and direction of the flight by moving his body.
The Wingsuit was like a human's wing. If it was damaged, it was like a bird's wing was broken. Checking whether it was up to standard and whether it was damaged was extremely important. It could not be careless. Someone once joked that the Wingsuit was the only product that did not have a bad review because those that did not feel good were all finished.
In addition, the special helmet was also very important. There were two GPS locators in the helmet. In the lower right corner of the glasses, there was a small screen that told the pilot the speed and taxi rate.
There was no need to mention parachutes. Wingsuit flight was not really flying, but gliding. The gliding ratio was about 3:1, which meant that for every meter you descended, you would advance about three meters at the same time. In the end, you still had to rely on parachutes to land. If you didn't bring a parachute, it meant that you only wanted to play with the Wingsuit flight once.
After Chen Yi finished checking and confirmed that there were no problems, he began to change his Winged Suit. The viewers in the live stream watched and listened, and they roughly understood what a Winged Suit was.
"So this is the Winged Armor, also known as the Flying Squirrel Armor.”
"From the name, it should have a certain gliding effect, but after all, it's just a set of clothes. The effect is definitely limited. Since Chen Shen wants to use a paraglider and parachute, why does he need this wingsuit?”
"He said that there would be an extra layer of protection, but why do I feel that this is not a guarantee? Besides, with Chen Shen's personality, why would he choose such a useless protection to waste time putting on clothes?”
"Oh no, the familiar feeling of fear is getting stronger. I thought of a terrifying possibility. He can't be thinking of using this Wingsuit to glide, right?”
